Specimen Signature of Signature of Guardian the Student SREE NARAYANA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, KOLLAM PROFILE The Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (S.N.D.P) Yogam in 1946 resolved to establish a college at Kollam in obeisance to the great saint, philosopher and social reformer Sree Narayana Guru, to provide better higher educational facilities, especially for the backward classes of Kerala. Emphasis was given on education, as only education had the power and potential to wipe out disabilities of the illiterate, the underprivileged and the downtrodden, who were cursed by an inhuman caste system. The resolution came true when the Sree Narayana College was opened in 1948 as a mixed college. To meet the increasing demand for seats, it was decided to start a separate college for women. The Sree Narayana College for Women began to function in the same building in September 1951 with affiliation to the University of Kerala, after shifting the already existing College to a separate building which continues to function as Sree Narayana College, Kollam. Sree Narayana College for Women stands as a proud and triumphant symbol of a renascent and progressive society ushered in by the spiritual effulgence and vision of the great Guru. The college had a modest beginning with a few courses at the intermediate and undergraduate levels. More courses were introduced later. The college was elevated to the status of a Postgraduate institution in 1964 with the introduction of M.Sc. course in Home Science. A job oriented UGC sponsored course in Actuarial Science was introduced in 1997-98. The next year (1998-99) witnessed the introduction of M.Sc. in Physics. A restructured B.Sc. course in Industrial Microbiology was introduced in 1999-2000. M.Sc. Applied Chemistry was started during 2000-2001, and was changed to M.Sc chemistry 2019 onwards. Now the college is one of the leading centres of learning in the field of higher education in Kerala with 15 teaching departments offering various courses at the Degree and Post-graduate levels for over 2500 students. The Department of Chemistry was elevated to the status of a Research Department in 2008 and at present 4 Research Calendar for the year 2020-21 1 SREE NARAYANA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, KOLLAM Scholars work under two Research Guides. The department of Physics was upgraded to Research Department in 2018 and 8 Research Scholars work under two guides. This prestigious institution has a great tradition of producing meritorious students from its very inception. All through these years, the teacher community and the student community of the college have contributed the brick and tool towards the process of moulding a progressive intelligentsia, free from caste and communal prejudices and social taboos. OUR VISION AND MISSION The Sree Narayana College for Women, Kollam, a pioneer institution for higher education in southern Kerala was founded by the great Statesman and leader Sri. R. Sankar in 1951. Inspired by the ideals, vision and social philosophy of the revered saint, philosopher and Karmayogi Sree Narayana Guru, Sri. R. Sankar started the mission of social upliftment by founding the temples of higher learning all over Kerala. The Sree Narayana College for Women aims at achieving the high ideals of Sree Narayana Guru ie, Sree Narayana Dharma, which stands for ‘Enlightenment through Education’ and views education as an instrument of socio-economic progress, material advancement and political, moral and ethical development of individuals in the society. It endeavours to mould a humane, intellectually accomplished morally awakened and socially committed set of young women. It was for fulfilling Sree Narayana Guru’s call for education especially women’s education and their empowerment, that this great centre of learning has been established. As a leading institution for higher education and research for women, the college hopes to develop a holistic attitude towards life which represents a harmonious blend of the material and spiritual aspects. Conscious of its inceptional obligation of imbibing and disseminating the revolutionary ideal of “One Caste, One Religion, One God”, the college promotes respect for all religions, which is an essential ingredient of the Indian ethos and culture. Calendar for the year 2020-21 2 SREE NARAYANA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, KOLLAM We believe that, education must be a man making process that act as an instrument of change. It should be used as a major tool for curing the evils of society. The classrooms should go beyond the traditional role of acting as centres for transmission of knowledge to become centres for character building, which should cover effective learning outcomes like values, interests, attitudes etc. relevant for better understanding and interaction with others in society. Also, we believe that education should have its focus on the development of wholesome
